Stabilised explicit Adams-type methods
Abstract
In this work we present explicit Adams-type multi-step methods with extended stability intervals, which are analogous to the stabilised Chebyshev Runge – Kutta methods. It is proved that for any k ≥ 1 there exists an explicit k-step Adams-type method of order one with stability interval of length 2k. The first order methods have remarkably simple expressions for their coefficients and error constant. A damped modification of these methods is derived. In the general case, to construct a k-step method of order p it is necessary to solve a constrained optimisation problem in which the objective function and p constraints are second degree polynomials in k variables. We calculate higher-order methods up to order six numerically and perform some numerical experiments to confirm the accuracy and stability of the methods.
